Why I do these posts
The answer to this has basically been outlined in the About page, and still remains very valid. This post is a callback to the beginning, and a reminder for myself or anyone who comes across this blog. I can’t say this is a mental dump, because I don’t document everything. I find it difficult to…

Another Busy Week…
It has been another busy week. For AI in general, and for myself. On Tuesday, OpenAI had its keynote. And did they announce some stuff! Now on to what’s important! It is time I actively look for a new job. In an effort to keep a semblance of privacy, I am setting up a local…

Something From “Early” AI
This is a little something that was getting started for work, but progress has stalled. It appears they are going to use a different implementation. (I am not giving away any work details here…) Essentially, it is an AI based web page that utilizes a local LLM. The main idea was to upload information, and…

Letting Go of The Past (App)
This will be my final entry for AlertYoSelf. It was something I created a few years ago, that actually made it into the Apple App Store! Though it did not generate any revenue… It was created as an “out”, for people who were on dates or events, and wanted an excuse to possibly end it.…

More on AI…
While I have yet to take an actual COURSE on how to do prompt engineering, but I have read some documentation. For me, this is progress. I prefer to jump in and see if I can figure things out, especially if it is consumer facing. Also, I have asked ChatGPT and Claude to assist me…

An AI engineered prompt
Although I have not been updating this blog, or my Github as I intended, that does not mean I have not been learning. I have always been better at organizing other people’s stuff than my own! For example, at work I hooked up OpenAI’s API to our contact form to automatically catch spam before it…

The Power of Hindsight
I just took a closer look at my personal Github repos, and I have not added anything for over 2 years. This is absolutely DREADFUL. Like my previous post states, this does not mean I have been stagnant. If you’ll excuse me, I need to get to work. (Apologies for the super short post…)

Welcome to 2025
“Welcome” might be a bit strong. It implies a greeting at the door—but at this point, 2025 has already unpacked and made itself comfortable. It’s more like, “You’ve been here a while and had a look around—how do you like the place?” It’s been way too long since my last post. Life’s been busy—building a house, moving a…

Summing up 2023
This week, I have been doing some digital clean up. In doing so, I reached this blog and see some posts that were never completed. Instead of trying to fully complete them, here are a few highlights! AI – To be clear, not training AI, but understanding how to use it to get meaningful responses.…
